c. 1940, later print

A black and white photograph capturing a moment on a city street, where a stylishly dressed couple stands prominently in the foreground. The man wears a suit and a fedora, while the woman is in a skirt suit with her arm linked in his. They appear to be engaged in conversation. In the background, other pedestrians walk by, and a storefront with various items displayed in the window, including suitcases and bottles, is visible. The scene suggests a mid-20th-century setting.
